Abstract
Description
本發明係關於用於膠帶捲筒的施配器，特定言之係關於具有整合膠帶心軸之施配器。 This invention relates to dispensers for tape rolls, and more particularly to dispensers having integrated tape mandrels.
許多桌上型膠帶施配器使用簡單的心軸來支撐膠帶捲筒(亦即，通常為圓筒形芯構件，其中具有芯開口，且膠帶以捲筒形式繞該圓筒形芯構件捲繞)，且膠帶捲筒在施配膠帶時繞該心軸旋轉。心軸通常為單獨的組件，其必須自施配器移除且單獨地處置，從而經常導致損失或錯位。此類心軸之使用進一步限制可模製及設計施配器之方式，此係因為施配器最終將需要對應特徵來緊固心軸。當意欲將膠帶捲筒容納於施配器內部時，尤其當該內部至少部分封閉時，此些問題被放大。 Many tabletop tape dispensers use a simple mandrel to support the tape roll (i.e., typically a cylindrical core member having a core opening in which the tape is wound in the form of a roll around the cylindrical core member) And the tape reel rotates around the mandrel as the tape is applied. The mandrel is typically a separate component that must be removed from the applicator and disposed of separately, often resulting in loss or misalignment. The use of such a mandrel further limits the manner in which the dispenser can be molded and designed because the dispenser will eventually require corresponding features to secure the mandrel. These problems are magnified when it is intended to accommodate the tape roll inside the dispenser, especially when the interior is at least partially closed.
存在對改良之膠帶施配器之需要。 There is a need for an improved tape dispenser.
在一態樣中，本發明提供一種用於支撐膠帶捲筒之心軸，該心軸包括自基座突出之一對對置側壁。每一側壁包括輪轂結構，該輪轂結構經組態而以可移除方式嚙合具有芯開口之膠帶捲筒的芯開口。該等側壁相對於彼此具有彈性可撓性以允許***及更換膠帶捲筒。 In one aspect, the invention provides a mandrel for supporting a roll of tape, the mandrel comprising a pair of opposing side walls projecting from the base. Each side wall includes a hub structure configured to removably engage a core opening of a tape roll having a core opening. The side walls are resiliently flexible relative to each other to allow insertion and replacement of the tape roll.
概言之，本發明之膠帶施配器總成包含： 一外殼，其具有一至少部分封閉之內部；及一心軸，其安置在該內部中且耦接至該外殼，該心軸經調適以在其上接收且以可移除方式保持具有一芯開口之一膠帶捲筒。 In summary, the tape dispenser assembly of the present invention comprises: An outer casing having an at least partially enclosed interior; and a mandrel disposed therein and coupled to the outer casing, the mandrel adapted to receive thereon and removably retaining a core opening One tape roll.
該心軸包含自一基座突出之一第一側壁及自一基座突出、大體上平行於該第一側壁之一第二側壁，其中該第一側壁及該第二側壁各自包含自其突出且經調適而以可移除方式嚙合該膠帶捲筒之該芯開口的一輪轂結構。如本文所描述，該總成經組態而使得：(1)可將具有一芯開口之一膠帶捲筒至少部分地***至該內部及該膠帶捲筒之該芯開口中，該膠帶捲筒之該芯開口以可移除方式與該第一側壁及該第二側壁嚙合以便將該膠帶捲筒緊固在施配組態中且在實質上不拆卸該外殼之情況下自該第一側壁及該第二側壁脫嚙，且(2)可在實質上不拆卸該外殼之情況下使處於施配組態中之膠帶捲筒自該第一側壁及該第二側壁脫嚙且自該內部移除。 The mandrel includes a first sidewall protruding from a base and a second sidewall extending from a base substantially parallel to the first sidewall, wherein the first sidewall and the second sidewall each include a protrusion therefrom And adapted to removably engage a hub structure of the core opening of the tape roll. As described herein, the assembly is configured such that: (1) a tape roll having a core opening can be at least partially inserted into the interior and the core opening of the tape roll, the tape roll The core opening removably engages the first side wall and the second side wall to secure the tape roll in an dispensed configuration and from the first side wall without substantially disassembling the outer cover And the second side wall is disengaged, and (2) the tape reel in the dispensing configuration is disengaged from the first side wall and the second side wall from the interior without substantially disassembling the outer casing Remove.
在另一態樣中，本發明提供一種膠帶施配器總成，其包括：一外殼，其具有至少部分封閉之內部；一心軸，其安置在該內部中且耦接至該外殼；及一膠帶捲筒。有利地，可將通常包含上面具有芯開口之芯構件及捲繞在上面的膠帶之膠帶捲筒***至該內部中且安裝在該心軸上，且接著隨後在不自該外殼內部移除該心軸的情況下移除該膠帶捲筒。 In another aspect, the present invention provides a tape dispenser assembly comprising: an outer casing having an at least partially enclosed interior; a mandrel disposed in the interior and coupled to the outer casing; and a tape reel. Advantageously, a tape roll, typically comprising a core member having a core opening thereon and a tape wound thereon, can be inserted into the interior and mounted on the mandrel, and then subsequently removed from the interior of the casing The tape reel is removed in the case of a mandrel.

In each case, the listed list is only used as a representative group and should not be interpreted as an exclusive list.
本發明之膠帶心軸可用於支撐具有至少部分封閉的內部之施配器中的膠帶之捲筒。如本文所使用，部分封閉之內部意謂外殼包括足夠大以接納膠帶捲筒之有限數目個開口。在某些實施例中，可將膠帶 心軸緊固至施配器外殼之內部同時保持足夠可撓性以允許在不拆卸施配器之情況下移除膠帶捲筒且***及更換另一膠帶捲筒。本發明之心軸通常包括自基座向外突出之一對對置側壁，且含納以可移除方式保持膠帶捲筒之對應輪轂結構。一個側壁可進一步包含一舌片，該舌片可用以推動側壁之末端分開，從而允許更容易地移除及***膠帶捲筒。本發明之膠帶心軸潛在地適用於眾多膠帶施配器設計，包括盒式、頭盔式及裝飾性水果式。 The tape mandrel of the present invention can be used to support a roll of tape in an dispenser having an at least partially closed interior. As used herein, partially enclosed interior means that the outer casing includes a limited number of openings that are large enough to receive a roll of tape. In some embodiments, the tape can be The mandrel is secured to the interior of the dispenser housing while maintaining sufficient flexibility to allow removal of the tape roll without the disassembly of the dispenser and insertion and replacement of another tape roll. The mandrel of the present invention generally includes a pair of opposed side walls that project outwardly from the base and that contain a corresponding hub structure that removably retains the tape roll. A side wall can further include a tab that can be used to push the ends of the side walls apart, thereby allowing for easier removal and insertion of the tape roll. The tape mandrel of the present invention is potentially suitable for use with a wide variety of tape dispenser designs, including box, helmet and decorative fruit.
圖1及圖2描繪適用於具有至少部分封閉的內部之膠帶施配器的心軸10之一實施例。所謂至少部分封閉的內部，其意謂當經組態以與安裝在根據本發明之心軸上的膠帶捲筒一起使用時，膠帶捲筒及心軸之全部定位在外殼之內部中，實質上僅膠帶之末端延伸至開口之周界或其外部。在此組態中，膠帶捲筒及心軸可自外殼外部觀察到(若外殼經調適而具有適當開口)，但其定位在外殼內部中以最小化與外部工作環境之非所要互動。 1 and 2 depict one embodiment of a mandrel 10 suitable for use with a tape dispenser having an at least partially closed interior. By at least partially enclosed interior, it is meant that when configured for use with a tape roll mounted on a mandrel according to the present invention, the tape roll and the mandrel are all positioned within the interior of the outer casing, substantially Only the end of the tape extends to the perimeter of the opening or to the outside. In this configuration, the tape roll and mandrel can be viewed from outside the casing (if the casing is adapted to have a suitable opening), but it is positioned inside the casing to minimize undesired interaction with the external working environment.
心軸10包括基座11及一對對置、大體上平行之側壁12，該對側壁12自基座11突出，由此與基座協作以界定一膠帶捲筒容器。基座11描繪為平坦或實質上成平面的表面，但可包括足以連接該等對置側壁12且將其相對於彼此進行定位的任何輪廓(例如，具有凹面曲率之表面)。在某些實施中，該等側壁12可自由基座11界定之平面以直角或小鈍角(例如，約90度至約95度)延伸。在某些情況下，側壁延伸部相對於基座11之逐漸變細(亦即，拖伸)促進心軸10之模製。該等側壁12間隔開足以最小化所保持之膠帶捲筒的橫向移動之距離。舉例而言，該等側壁可經設計以保持¾吋膠帶捲筒，在每一側上具有至少至少十六分之一吋的間隙(亦即，側壁與捲筒之間的距離)。取決於下文更詳細論述之所要膠帶捲筒及輪轂結構之大小，其他尺寸係可能的。 The mandrel 10 includes a base 11 and a pair of opposed, generally parallel side walls 12 that project from the base 11 thereby cooperating with the base to define a tape roll container. The pedestal 11 is depicted as a flat or substantially planar surface, but may include any contour (eg, a surface having a concave curvature) sufficient to connect the opposing sidewalls 12 and position them relative to one another. In some implementations, the side walls 12 can extend at a right angle or a small obtuse angle (e.g., from about 90 degrees to about 95 degrees) from the plane defined by the base 11. In some cases, the tapering of the sidewall extension relative to the base 11 (i.e., dragging) facilitates molding of the mandrel 10. The side walls 12 are spaced apart to minimize the distance of lateral movement of the retained tape roll. For example, the side walls can be designed to hold a 3⁄4 inch tape roll with a gap of at least one-sixteenth of a turn on each side (i.e., the distance between the side wall and the roll). Other sizes are possible, depending on the size of the tape roll and hub structure to be discussed in more detail below.
心軸10之側壁12包括自側壁12之內表面向內突出之對置輪轂結 構13。輪轂結構13提供周邊表面，該等周邊表面經調適以藉由(例如)突出至膠帶捲筒芯中之開口的相對末端中而以可旋轉方式支撐膠帶捲筒芯之圓筒形內表面以繞一軸線旋轉。如所描繪，輪轂結構13包含半圓筒形突起，該等半圓筒形突起包括凸起表面14及接近側壁12之自由端(亦即，未連接至基座之末端)的斜坡部分15。斜坡15相對於側壁12之平面成角度或傾斜。斜坡15之成角度性質可允許將膠帶捲筒便利地裝載至輪轂結構13上。不同輪轂結構在膠帶施配技術中係已知的(諸如中空、大體上U形凸緣)，且可在不脫離本文揭示的發明性心軸之範疇的情況下加以使用。例示性輪轂結構可見於美國專利第5,468,332號(Dretzka等人)及第8,191597號(Vulpitta)中。 The sidewall 12 of the mandrel 10 includes opposing hub knots that project inwardly from the inner surface of the sidewall 12. Structure 13. The hub structure 13 provides a peripheral surface that is adapted to rotatably support a cylindrical inner surface of the tape roll core, for example, by projecting into opposite ends of the opening in the roll core One axis rotates. As depicted, the hub structure 13 includes semi-cylindrical protrusions including a raised surface 14 and a ramp portion 15 proximate the free end of the sidewall 12 (ie, not connected to the end of the base). The ramp 15 is angled or inclined relative to the plane of the side wall 12. The angled nature of the ramp 15 may allow for convenient loading of the tape roll onto the hub structure 13. Different hub structures are known in tape dispensing techniques (such as hollow, generally U-shaped flanges) and can be used without departing from the scope of the inventive mandrels disclosed herein. Exemplary hub structures are found in U.S. Patent Nos. 5,468,332 (Dretzka et al.) and 8,191,597 (Vulpitta).
側壁12在輪轂結構13與基座11之間具彈性可撓性，以使得其可彈性地彎曲隔開以允許將膠帶捲筒定位於輪轂結構13之間且自其間移除空的芯。在例示性實施例中，材料具足夠可撓性以允許側壁相對於其初始位置之至少10度的相對移動。在其他實施例中，材料具足夠可撓性以允許至少15度的相對移動，且在其他實施例中，允許至少20度的相對移動。為輔助側壁12之相對移動，一個側壁12之自由端可具備舌片16。舌片16可包括任何可抓握幾何形狀，且通常相對於由側壁12界定之平面以非零角度延伸。在某些實施例中，舌片16以至少15度，在一些實施例中，至少30度，在一些實施例中，至少45度，且在一些實施例中，至少60度之角度延伸。舌片16以不大於90度之角度延伸可為較佳的，使得掰開側壁所必需之力得以充分減小。 The side wall 12 is resiliently flexible between the hub structure 13 and the base 11 such that it is resiliently bendably spaced to allow the tape roll to be positioned between the hub structures 13 and to remove an empty core therebetween. In an exemplary embodiment, the material is sufficiently flexible to allow relative movement of the sidewalls relative to at least 10 degrees of their initial position. In other embodiments, the material is sufficiently flexible to allow relative movement of at least 15 degrees, and in other embodiments, at least 20 degrees of relative movement is allowed. To assist in the relative movement of the side walls 12, the free end of one of the side walls 12 can be provided with a tongue 16. The tab 16 can include any grippable geometry and generally extends at a non-zero angle relative to the plane defined by the sidewall 12. In certain embodiments, the tabs 16 extend at an angle of at least 15 degrees, in some embodiments, at least 30 degrees, in some embodiments, at least 45 degrees, and in some embodiments, at least 60 degrees. It may be preferred that the tongue 16 extends at an angle of no more than 90 degrees so that the force necessary to open the side wall is substantially reduced.
至少部分歸因於側壁12之彈性可撓性及輪轂結構13之設計，使用者可在無需使用舌片16或掰開側壁12之情況下裝載膠帶捲筒。然而，移除將通常需要移動該等側壁12中之至少一者以使至少一個輪轂結構13膠帶捲筒芯解耦。 Due at least in part to the resilient flexibility of the sidewall 12 and the design of the hub structure 13, the user can load the tape spool without the use of the tabs 16 or the splitting of the sidewalls 12. However, removal will typically require moving at least one of the side walls 12 to decouple the at least one hub structure 13 tape roll core.
心軸10之側壁12中的一者(較佳為與包括舌片16之側壁相對的側 壁)包括一安裝結構17。安裝結構17適合用於將心軸10耦接至施配器外殼之內部。如下文將更詳細地解釋，安裝結構17亦可輔助相對於施配器切割表面定位心軸10。舉例而言，配合特徵可與施配器之內部表面上的配合孔口嚙合。在所描繪之實施例中，安裝結構17包括以摩擦方式與施配器上之另一類似結構嚙合的中空圓筒形環。在其他實施例中，安裝結構17可經由固定機構(例如，壓敏黏著劑，卡鉤及環圈扣件，等)緊固至施配器外殼。在某些情況下，使側壁永久地貼附至外殼可為合乎需要的。將側壁固定至施配器外殼允許膠帶捲筒之可能的單手裝載及移除，此係因為僅需要移動自由側壁以足夠打開心軸。此外，將側壁固定至施配器外殼防止在正常使用期間移除及丟失心軸。在替代實施例中，心軸可以可移除方式保持在施配器外殼中。 One of the side walls 12 of the mandrel 10 (preferably the side opposite the side wall including the tab 16) The wall) includes a mounting structure 17. Mounting structure 17 is suitable for coupling mandrel 10 to the interior of the dispenser housing. As will be explained in more detail below, the mounting structure 17 can also assist in positioning the mandrel 10 relative to the applicator cutting surface. For example, the mating feature can engage a mating aperture on the interior surface of the dispenser. In the depicted embodiment, the mounting structure 17 includes a hollow cylindrical ring that frictionally engages another similar structure on the dispenser. In other embodiments, the mounting structure 17 can be secured to the dispenser housing via a securing mechanism (eg, a pressure sensitive adhesive, a hook and loop fastener, etc.). In some cases, it may be desirable to have the sidewall permanently attached to the outer casing. Fixing the side wall to the dispenser housing allows for possible one-hand loading and removal of the tape roll, as it is only necessary to move the free side wall to open the mandrel sufficiently. In addition, securing the sidewall to the dispenser housing prevents removal and loss of the mandrel during normal use. In an alternate embodiment, the mandrel can be removably retained in the dispenser housing.
用於心軸之適當材料包括(但不限於)塑膠、金屬及陶瓷，及其組合。適當塑膠包括(但不限於)聚苯乙烯及聚碳酸酯。 Suitable materials for the mandrel include, but are not limited to, plastics, metals, and ceramics, and combinations thereof. Suitable plastics include, but are not limited to, polystyrene and polycarbonate.
現轉至圖3及圖4，描繪包括膠帶施配器20、心軸10及膠帶捲筒30之施配器總成。在所展示之實施例中，膠帶施配器20大體呈橄欖球頭盔的形狀，且包括至少部分地界定內部22之殼層21及面罩23。面罩23與殼層21協作以部分地封閉內部22。切割支撐件24安置在面罩23上，離開內部22。切割支撐件24通常包括承坐表面(landing surface)刀片。承坐表面充當附接膠帶之施配末端的表面，以使得其可接近且準備好進行進一步使用。承坐表面進一步提供支撐表面以易化膠帶跨越刀片之撕裂。刀片可為鋸齒狀的，或包括任何其他已知刀片組態。 Turning now to Figures 3 and 4, a dispenser assembly including a tape dispenser 20, a mandrel 10, and a tape reel 30 is depicted. In the illustrated embodiment, the tape dispenser 20 is generally in the shape of a football helmet and includes a shell 21 and a mask 23 that at least partially define the interior 22. The mask 23 cooperates with the shell 21 to partially enclose the interior 22. The cutting support 24 is placed on the mask 23, away from the interior 22. The cutting support 24 typically includes a landing surface blade. The seating surface acts as a surface for attaching the end of the tape to the end so that it is accessible and ready for further use. The seating surface further provides a support surface to facilitate tearing of the tape across the blade. The blade can be jagged or include any other known blade configuration.
心軸10經由殼層21之內部表面上的嚙合特徵25而緊固至膠帶施配器20。心軸10之基座11經定位而朝向殼層21之後部，輪轂結構13接近於切割支撐件24而對準。安裝結構17與配合特徵25協作以將心軸10定位在施配器中，使得在面罩23之方向上自膠帶捲筒30施配之膠帶將嚙合切割支撐件24。在替代實施例中，安裝結構17獨自足以將心軸自 殼層21之內部表面隔開。如所描繪，心軸10經定向而使得輪轂結構13之斜坡部分15相對於由切割支撐件24界定之平面以稍微向下的角度傾斜。此定向可輔助裝載膠帶捲筒30，膠帶捲筒30較佳經由殼層21之底部開口裝載。在替代實施例中，面罩23係可移除的，且膠帶捲筒30在朝向心軸10之基座11的方向上加以裝載。 The mandrel 10 is secured to the tape dispenser 20 via an engagement feature 25 on the interior surface of the shell 21. The base 11 of the mandrel 10 is positioned towards the rear of the shell 21, and the hub structure 13 is aligned close to the cutting support 24. The mounting structure 17 cooperates with the mating features 25 to position the mandrel 10 in the dispenser such that the tape dispensed from the tape roll 30 in the direction of the mask 23 will engage the cutting support 24. In an alternate embodiment, the mounting structure 17 alone is sufficient to self-center the spindle The inner surfaces of the shell layer 21 are spaced apart. As depicted, the mandrel 10 is oriented such that the ramp portion 15 of the hub structure 13 is inclined at a slightly downward angle relative to the plane defined by the cutting support 24. This orientation assists in loading the tape reel 30, which is preferably loaded via the bottom opening of the shell 21. In an alternate embodiment, the mask 23 is removable and the tape reel 30 is loaded in a direction toward the base 11 of the mandrel 10.
使用者可藉由將舌片16移動遠離附接至殼層21之側壁12而使心軸10準備好用於膠帶捲筒***。由於側壁12連接於基座11處，因此使側壁在前端移動遠離彼此使輪轂結構13在斜坡15端比在後端移動地距彼此更遠。此允許***所要寬度的膠帶而在膠帶施配器20或心軸10上無不當壓力。替代地，可在使用者不起始側壁之移動的情況下裝載膠帶捲筒30。 The user can prepare the mandrel 10 for tape roll insertion by moving the tab 16 away from the side wall 12 attached to the shell 21. Since the side walls 12 are connected to the base 11, the side walls are moved away from each other at the front end such that the hub structures 13 are moved further apart from each other at the slope 15 end than at the rear end. This allows the insertion of the tape of the desired width without undue pressure on the tape dispenser 20 or mandrel 10. Alternatively, the tape reel 30 can be loaded without the user starting the movement of the side walls.
在其他實施例中，施配器外殼具有封閉的內部，其僅可經由門、可移動罩蓋或其他進入機構進入。圖5及圖6描繪包括膠帶施配器120、心軸110及膠帶捲筒130之施配器總成之另一實施例。心軸110並不實質上不同於上述心軸10，且因此，無需重複心軸10之特定元件。膠帶施配器120包括具有切割支撐件124之基座123及可移除罩蓋121，基座123與可移除罩蓋121協作以界定施配器內部122。罩蓋121描繪為以鉸鏈耦接至基座123，使得罩蓋可在打開狀態(圖5)與關閉狀態(圖6)之間旋轉。用於允許在打開狀態與關閉狀態之間轉變的其他機構亦為適當的，諸如摩擦配合或嚙合於基座上之可移除罩蓋、滑動耦接至基座之罩蓋，及其他已知組態。 In other embodiments, the dispenser housing has a closed interior that is accessible only through a door, a movable cover, or other access mechanism. 5 and 6 depict another embodiment of a dispenser assembly that includes a tape dispenser 120, a mandrel 110, and a roll of tape 130. The mandrel 110 is not substantially different from the mandrel 10 described above, and thus, it is not necessary to repeat the particular elements of the mandrel 10. The tape dispenser 120 includes a base 123 having a cutting support 124 and a removable cover 121 that cooperates with the removable cover 121 to define the dispenser interior 122. The cover 121 is depicted as being hingedly coupled to the base 123 such that the cover is rotatable between an open state (Fig. 5) and a closed state (Fig. 6). Other mechanisms for allowing a transition between an open state and a closed state are also suitable, such as a friction fit or a removable cover that engages the base, a cover that is slip coupled to the base, and other known configuration.
在使用中，罩蓋121相對於基座123之底部表面向上旋轉，從而暴露心軸110且允許將膠帶捲筒130接收於施配器內部122中。在某些實施例中，罩蓋之旋轉亦可引起心軸110在裝載狀態與施配狀態之間的旋轉。替代地，心軸110不隨罩蓋121旋轉，此係因為膠帶捲筒130將通常能夠在任何定向中在心軸110輪轂結構上旋轉。一旦膠帶捲筒 130緊固於心軸110中，便可自捲筒130抽取膠帶且將其置放於切割支撐件124上。 In use, the cover 121 is rotated upward relative to the bottom surface of the base 123 to expose the mandrel 110 and allow the tape roll 130 to be received in the dispenser interior 122. In some embodiments, rotation of the cover can also cause rotation of the mandrel 110 between the loaded state and the dispensed state. Alternatively, the mandrel 110 does not rotate with the cover 121, as the tape reel 130 will typically be able to rotate on the mandrel 110 hub structure in any orientation. Once the tape reel Fastened in the mandrel 110, the tape can be drawn from the reel 130 and placed on the cutting support 124.
